Hey! Associated Press - Do we have to do your job?
The AP reported that Laura Bush was flyihg to Minnesota to console the victims. They neglected to say that she was already scheduled to appear at the University of Minnesota and speaking to "Helping America's Youth" program.

The also neglected to report that the Republican National Party summer convention was convening at the same time in Minneapolis.

If you are going to obfuscate the truth, 75% of this country will know you are doing it. So who are you trying to fool?

2. How fortunate it is...
that the bridge collapsed just in time for Laura to squeeze in a little PR work on the fly.

3. So, will it be a drive-by consolation?
No doubt there will be photo-ops on her way to her regularly scheduled events.
